The Ithaca Mag-10 "Road Blocker" was a Police Shotgun used specifically for road blocks and as an entry gun. A 10 gauge buckshot shell is approximately the equivalent of two 12 gauge rounds. The semi-auto design and the weight of the Mag-10 made it very controllable, but it was also bulky and did not lend itself to fast handling. It is a 10 gauge automatic shotgun and sports a Walnut stock, matte finish, and chambered in 3-1/2 inch. The Road Blocker is no longer in production, but Remington bought the rights to the design and have released their model designated SP-10.
The '''Ithaca Mag-10 "Road Blocker"''' was designed by Ithaca for the law enforcement market and became available from 1978 until 1986. It was the tactical version of the Ithaca Mag-10 sporting shotgun (1975-1989). It was intended as a specialty shotgun specifically to stop vehicles (road blocks) and as an entry gun. The semi-auto design and the weight of the Mag-10 made it very controllable, but it was also bulky and did not lend itself to fast handling. The Roadblocker was advertised with both a 20" and 22" (which actually measured out to 21" 3/4) barrels. The option of a plain or vent barrel was also available. The shotgun had a parkerized finish on the barrel, receiver and non-checkered walnut stock and forearm. There were no Ithaca factory markings of the name "Roadblocker" on the shotgun receiver, barrel or stock or any identifying letters in the serial number.
